Aoud Safran

by Pierre Montale

Montale Aoud Safran is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Safran settles into a heart of Oud, Saffron, and Rose. Montale's Aoud Safran carries a Favourite verdict, a oud-led wear.

This one's a proper Montale beast - nuclear strength and seriously polarising. If you're after a bold, authentic saffron-oud and can handle the initial medicinal hit, then you're in for a deeply rich, Middle Eastern treat. Just don't overspray, unless you want to gas out the entire neighbourhood.

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, it's far too intrusive for an office setting. However, its rich, oriental character and strong sillage make it perfect for formal events or a memorable date night, particularly in cooler weather.

About

It opens with a potent, almost medicinal saffron that quickly smooths out into a rich, velvety texture. Beneath it, a dark and woody oud emerges, interwoven with a subtle, bitter rose that adds a touch of sweetness without being overtly floral. There's a persistent metallic edge, softened by a leathery, spicy warmth, making for an intricate and commanding aroma from start to finish.
